[QUOTE=The Stills;47913094]I don't think anyone who actually likes Metroid as a series would complain about backtracking.[/QUOTE]
I replayed Echoes a few months ago after not playing it since launch and found the biggest problem was that the world was too small. The dark variants didn't provide enough content compared to MP1. Also, Agon Wastes and the Temple Grounds are too similar and kinda boring. Thankfully Torvus Bog and the Sanctuary Fortress are 10/10 locations, but the first few hours of Echoes are a slog.
I wish Echoes had another six or so months of development so they could get all that cut content in.
After thinking about it, i wouldn't mind if they did a 3rd Donkey Kong Returns game. my idea would be that DK isn't required as a compulsery Kong. to balance it, the other Kongs would interact with eachover in different ways.
• Cranky's pogo will be weight/height-dependant, it will have 2-3 speeds of downwards thrust depending on height but his current height would be the default. pairing with Donkey Kong would make down thrust easier and can shatter stone blocks, using Diddy or Dixie would probably avoid detonating time blocks. DK could throw Kranky downwards mid air to quickly stamp enemies whilst he levitates until Cranky comes back up? it'd be quirky for leaps of faith segments if there's tricky timing mechanics.
• Dixie's fly will be much longer with Cranky, Medium length with Diddy and brief but high with Donkey Kong. Dixie can toss DK like a barrel, but he would die if he falls down a hole or touch spikes.
• Diddy can control his jetpack with Cranky, have 1-2 small bursts with Dixie, and having the regular short glide with DK. he's probably be able to log-roll with DK for ground speed.
Having DK as the main Kong allows him to utilize the Balloon generation mechanic, and a similar teleport tag to the original 2 sequels. the interaction is probably too complicated, but how else can DKC evolve other than the re-addition of animal buddies or adding another Kong? one thing i didn't like with Tropical Freeze was that Dixie was generally the best Kong, period. followed by Cranky...with Diddy dead last.
Seriously, Dixie's balloons gives DK extra Hits, Diddy's grant Lives...and Cranky's give Banana coins. the coins could be used to buy other things like lives or helpful items for stages, but if you're swimming in coins/lives, you could just go for Dixie for the added security for IF you do want protection. otherwise the superficial differences boils down to underwater segments; Diddy's barrels or Dixie's easier swim...or Cranky's cane which would be slightly redundant if Enguarde came back.
I would love them to bring back K Rool for the third game.

Bought Mario Kart 8, what is the best kart to use in 200cc?
[QUOTE=Bryceanater;47914866]Bought Mario Kart 8, what is the best kart to use in 200cc?[/QUOTE]
Pipe Frame works wonders, especially with lightweights and middleweights. Basically, prioritize handling. There seem to be quite a few karts and bikes, such as the Silver Arrow, Landship and Jet Bike, that are good for 200cc, but they all have high or at least good handling. Rollers and slims are the goto tires.
oh my god you guys I can't wait for this thread next week.
The ticker is going to be really fun to watch. The E3 threads, news threads, and the Nintendo threads are going to dominate it.

Worst case scenario, it's just a sign of a good partnership- they've rted things like that before and nothing came from it. Best case, we see a new game from Platinum on Nintendo consoles only, once again.

I would LOVE it if Platinum made another sequel that's exclusive to Wii U. Bring on Vanquish 2!
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;47916675]So, got 11.50€ on the eshop (actually 15.50, but 4 of those are gonna be spent on the Lucas DLC), any suggestions on what to buy?[/QUOTE]
Wait for E3, maybe they're gonna announce a new eshop game.

Promise I'll mention it after the direct!
Also jeez is that the new Spoiler tag? It hurts my eyes like crazy.
the best possible things i could imagine for the upcoming Directs:
1. New Metroid title for Wii U
2. Kirby: Air Ride 2
3. [sp2]Metroid: Air Ride[/sp2]

Fair enough, good sir.
It's a new spoiler tag yeah, now it makes threads look more like your glasses are off than a SCP document.

I hate that new spoiler tag. However, it can hide images as well, so it is kind of useful in that regard.
[URL="http://t.co/4I0ATpppZs"]Well, this is apparently a thing- ZombiU supposedly in development for XB1/PS4.[/URL] Not really surprising to me, at least because Ubisoft is a piece of shit.
Are they just going to leave the title as ZombiU? Cause that title isn't going to make any sense if it is released for those consoles.
that game will sell worse than watch_dogs wii u
[editline]9th June 2015[/editline]
and its translation to xb1/ps4 will be terrible because of their lack of gamepad, but i guess they could use those consoles' really shitty second screen features
i.e. "bring out your phone or tablet that you may or may not own."

Good news, it doesn't. Typed up some sleepy thoughts on the game in the other thread but X is hugely lacking and a complete disappointment after the initial "awe" wears off.
[editline]10th June 2015[/editline]
God I'm butthurt that X isn't that good.
Like dammit why would you say it's a successor and make it worse in [i]almost[/i] every way.

I remember NeoGAF ragging on the game back when it was out and now they suddenly see this game as "it wasn't bad, it was actually good"?
If this falls through I'll be watching for "it was shit anyway".

neogaf is good for 2 things: screenshots and leaks.
if you're looking for anything else you're going to be disappointed.

Oh, it actually is that bad?
I mean, I'm not a fan of X's story, it's character designs, it's music, but at least the environment looks nice right?
